    It sounds like you'd want to gear up your resume for a Business Intelligence kind of role? The big thing there will be to highlight your knowledge in the various platforms. Power BI or something. That is if I understand the direction you're wanting to go in correctly.

    Hearthstone

    Easy, do a few quests, drink a beer, listen to some podcast or something and then stop playing. That's all I do. It's a good relax game that requires minimal attention. If there are any other ultra casual games out there I am all ears.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I had a coworker like that. I didn't get it. This guy is in his 50's and has been a developer forever. He has a huge interest in the stock market and back in his 20's/30's made a ton of custom tools for it for himself. That aside he made a TON of money. Enough that he never had to work again and...

    Hearthstone

    Pretty much the only reason I play this game is because its the only ultra casual game I really like. Just do quests and drink a beer or two... never spend money though because fuck that. The name of this meta is just absolutely insane snowball tempo/midrange as far as I can tell. Which is again...

    Energy Drink Thread

    I keep saying. To get the full Wild Tiger or RipIt experience you need to drink them scorching hot after being left out in the sun all day. I drank half a wild tiger and outright puked my guts out. Then I felt dizzy for a while. Too stronk for me.

    Hearthstone

    I don't think I am going to like this meta. This entire expansion seems to revolve around the ability to pull wild shit out of your ass via RNG and win because of it. Really not trying to bitch but this is extremely consistent or I am just super unlucky.

    Hearthstone

    Only played a bit. Made bomb warrior and some paladin decks fucking around. Now I may be crazy. But classes can do an insane amount of shit per turn now compared to previous expansions.... It is really annoying.

    Yeah but he wants to get paid. Mathematically derived index funds don't care about being paid. Or rather, they do to fractions of a percent rather than 1%+ in fees on your returns.

    No, that is bullshit. They were imported from USA. The real fucked up Mega Juice drinks were the Wild Tigers I told you about. Which were produced in Jordan.

    Make no mistake. I am not shitting on QA, my first job was on a QA team where I ended up being the automation guy because I really disliked just doing functional stuff. The real sharp QA guys are solid gold and can find all kinds of issues devs missed AND provide solutions. But I did get...

    Don't you mean jai alai? @Foler Yeah I noticed that too. QA moved from being QA to being Quality Engineers to being Integration Engineers... In my experience QA seems to be mostly the manual functional types. But QE/IE has a wide range of technical skill or not lol. The most annoying thing...

    GM made you pay for coffee lol. That job I quit had snacks everywhere and free fizzy water/soda/coffee. The job I start next week had a big fridge of whatever.

    Ping Pong tables are all over now. GM had them too. I don't play at work but its a good way to just relax a little when you are bashing your head against the wall as to why your fucking code won't work.

    Yeah but some companies stay private and don't even do IPOs... albeit they are in the minority I suppose. This company I am starting at has been around since 2008. But like I said, their product fits a very strong need and saves a great deal of time in the infrastructure/performance monitoring...

    Job Hunting

    GM perks were the ridiculous benefits package. Yearly bonus was strong (up to 20% I usually got 10-15), 40+ days off a year, slow ass business pace so it wasn't really demanding. If you were a level 8 (manager or higher) you get a free car you change out every quarter. You don't even pay for...

    Owner I am sure said, "he didn't mean it!!!!!" I would have killed her worthless mutt right there. Stabbed it in the fucking throat and told her to go fuck herself. Stupid fucking skank owner.

    Dealing with addiction

    I have a ton of Norwegian pals from when I lived in Florida who came there every year for some skydiving events. All of them drank like they'd never drank before. Those that drank a lot even over there were deep in the homebrew/moonshine game to avoid taxes. Beer is cheap to make. I used to...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    The starting salaries for the high COL areas make sense I do give it that. My friend is getting out of the Navy and got a job in San Jose making $130k. Which sounds pretty rough to me since a shitbox apartment is running you $2500. Since he has a wife and kid who probably don't want a shitbox...

    I have a hard time believing that fresh grads are getting $150k+ and $40k signing bonuses at some of these places. Clearly I'm applying to the wrong companies.

    @zombiewizardhawk can confirm but thinking on it I believe the point of this shit is so they can complain that X is not as described and thus should be free eatning 3/4 of it.
